Alberto González, the head coach of Albacete, is optimistic about pulling off an upset against Celta in the Copa del Rey this afternoon. He expressed confidence that his team will make their supporters proud, stating, “The team will make everyone who attends the match feel proud.” The Jaén-born coach has moved on from last weekend’s league defeat to Málaga, describing it as just a “bad day” that they have now overcome.
“We’re focused on what lies ahead and looking forward to the exciting challenge that arose the moment Celta’s name was drawn,” González remarked. He did not shy away from praising Celta, acknowledging them as a “spectacular team” currently competing in European tournaments. Notably, he praised Celta’s recent victory at the Bernabéu and recognized their strong form, while also articulating Albacete’s determination to progress in the tournament with a strong desire to overcome the challenge ahead.
This match not only offers Albacete a chance to showcase their resilience and determination but also brings an exciting narrative as they aim to take down a formidable opponent. This clash in the Copa del Rey could serve as a springboard for Albacete to regain their confidence and perhaps set the tone for the remainder of their season.
